I was introduced to the interns today and filming has officially commenced. The first thing I am filming is all of the action scenes! There are five main action scenes involving hand to hand combat and one car chase scene. Fulp hired martial artists and gymnasts for these scenes and these fucking guys know how to MOVE! I can't give away too many plot details, but, I am very excited for a certain character called "Shin" who is actually a borrowed character from a different story I wrote. He will be the favorite I predict and make people stand up and cheer! I filmed from 8am until 5pm and then Tom's wife cooked me, him, and Stamper dinner at which point I was informed if I fell below schedule I would be terminated without a second chance.
Basically we are filming "motion capture" meaning all of the actors are in front of a chroma key and wearing motion capture suits, similar to how they film video game cut scenes. Once filming is done, Stamper and Mindy will draw over what I filmed and I will animate and edit accordingly into the final project to hit select theaters in Q4 2011. However I am worried about numerous things such as the musical score and the voice acting! This faggot Tom and I hired to to do the score knows music as well as any member of Nickelback! I have been working very closely with him but I am fearful of what he comes up with. As far as the voice acting is concerned it's me, Fulp, Fulp's Wife, Stamper, and Mindy. That will make or break this movie so it HAS TO BE PERFECT! The key to keeping this budget down is hiring interns and keeping the voice actors not apart of any form of acting guild. I will report more tomorrow.
